Good/Bad Landlords

Submitted by agelaius9416 t3_10ob0sy in StamfordCT

I know this is a perennial question here, but I’m looking to move from Urby to a cheaper and smaller place in March. Anyone have landlords or management companies they like or to avoid? I’m particularly interested in experiences with Garden Homes Management and Urban Connections Realty. I’ve been told to avoid Residences on Bedford before.

Also, if anyone is looking for a roommate starting in March, I (28M) am considering that too! TIA

We have had a horrific time at Element One (Bozzuto). Like, the worst experience we’ve ever had in an apartment in 2+ decades of renting. We broke our lease and are leaving soon. I feel like I need to sell my left kidney to pay all the fees, but it’s that bad.

Just be warned Urban Connections charges a broker fee (usually equal to one months rent). It also took me two weeks and about 6 reminders to get a copy of my lease from them. Once they have your $$ they don’t care to help anymore.

Not saying you are wrong but I used Urban Connections and did not pay a broker fee in 2022.

Maybe it depends on if the landlord consents to it. No surprise that mine would tbh.

The Stanley is garden homes and is an ok, no frills rental. Not bad so far. Couple of small issues - Parking is bundled with your rent, meaning you have to pay for it whether or not you have a car. And the water does not get as hot as it should.

Avoid Vault.
